An ugly picture of where things stand on the final day of the RNC
Trump’s management officials thursday took advantage of Jacob Blake’s recent police shooting and riots to argue that Democrats are encouraging anarchy, leading Joe Biden to accuse the president of cowardly exploiting a national tragedy.

He cheers him up.”
“This is your America, ” said Biden.
